Disaster Relief

Gibbie McMillan, State Coordinator

Matthew 25:40 “And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me’.”

Disaster-Relief-02Louisiana is no stranger to natural disaster, “occurrences which cause human suffering or create human needs that victims cannot alleviate without assistance.”    Disaster Relief units in Louisiana are part of a national fleet of responders working with partners in other states and the North American Mission Board.  They respond to other states when requested by NAMB.

The many faces of Louisiana missions include those serving through Disaster Relief as well as recipients.  Through feeding units, chain saw units, shower units and laundry units, Louisiana Disaster Relief provides assistance in our state, in other states, and in other countries.

The Disaster Relief budget comes from the Georgia Barnette State Missions Offering.  This budget is used to maintain equipment and at times has been needed to purchase new equipment.

Gibbie McMillan, Disaster Relief Director asks that we pray for:

  • provisions needed for response when disaster strikes;
  • sensitivity to the needs of the people involved in Disaster Relief;
  • this ministry to be used to reach and reap a harvest of souls for the Kingdom; and
  • more volunteers to respond to God’s call to be part of this great work.

Disaster Relief volunteers helped to prepare more than 7,000 Buckets of Hope for shipment to Haiti in Spring 2010.  While this is not a direct state missions ministry, it was possible because of the cooperative efforts of Louisiana Baptists on mission together.

Thank-you for praying today.  Your prayers mean so much to so many!
